    If it is in an ANACS holder then it’s authentic. It’s a super common coin so probably not many/any fakes of it out there.

    NGC and PCGS slabs are currently being counterfeited by the Chinese but I haven't heard of ANACS or ICG slabs being counterfeited so you are probably okay with your Ben Franklin half dollar. Can we get a pic of it?

    Congrats. Is it your first slab? Cool choice in the Benjamin Franklin. Maybe, the "Bugs Bunny" variety? Very popular variety and cool to have in your collection. Check it out . :)

    MS 60, even though it's the lowest uncirculated grade can still be somewhat collectible if encapsulated. Assuming your coin is not an attributed variety(such as the Bugs Bunny already mentioned), or others...the current population report for ANACS shows only 7 examples in that grade again assuming it's a straight grade of 60 and not one with problem details. Does that mean it's a rare coin....no, but it's definitely more rare to find one that ANACS has graded in the 60 holder than say the MS 63. It currently shows 1074 examples.

    I think I saw it on you YouTube video. It was ms60 details, cleaned, right? That means not ms60. It is authentic, but basically worth melt.

    You can go to ANACS.com and verify the cert number on the holder as well. It will confirm the number on the holder matches the type, date, mint, grade, etc. of the coin in the holder.

    That's not going to change anything...It's in a "detailed" (cleaned) ANACS MS60 holder.
